Bible Reading for October 05

Zechariah 1
[1] In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the
LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
[2] The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers. [3] Therefore say
thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD
of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the LORD of hosts.
[4] Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried,
saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from
your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the LORD.
[5] Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever? [6]
But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did
they not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and said, Like as the
LORD of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to
our doings, so hath he dealt with us. [7] Upon the four and twentieth day of
the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius,
came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo
the prophet, saying, [8] I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red
horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind
him were there red horses, speckled, and white.
[9] Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me
said unto me, I will shew thee what these be. [10] And the man that stood among
the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the LORD hath sent to
walk to and fro through the earth. [11] And they answered the angel of the LORD
that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through
the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest. [12] Then
the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of hosts, how long wilt thou
not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast
had indignation these threescore and ten years? [13] And the LORD answered the
angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words.
[14] So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus
saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great
jealousy.
[15] And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was
but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction. [16] Therefore
thus saith the LORD; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be
built in it, saith the LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon
Jerusalem.
[17] Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through
prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and
shall yet choose Jerusalem.
[18] Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns. [19] And I
said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me,
These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
[20] And the LORD shewed me four carpenters. [21] Then said I, What come these
to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so
that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out
the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to
scatter it.

Zechariah 2
[1] I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring
line in his hand.
[2] Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem,
to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
[3] And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel
went out to meet him,
[4] And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be
inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein:
[5] For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and
will be the glory in the midst of her. [6] Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from
the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four
winds of the heaven, saith the LORD.
[7] Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon. [8]
For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the
nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his
eye.
[9] For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to
their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me. [10]
Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the
midst of thee, saith the LORD. [11] And many nations shall be joined to the
LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of
thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee. [12]
And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose
Jerusalem again.
[13] Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his
holy habitation.

Zechariah 3
[1] And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the
LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him. [2] And the LORD said
unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen
Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
[3] Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.
[4] And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take
away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused
thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of
raiment.
[5] And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair
mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD
stood by.
[6] And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua, saying, [7] Thus saith the
LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge,
then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will
give thee places to walk among these that stand by.
[8] Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before
thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant
the BRANCH.
[9] For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall
be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of
hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. [10] In that
day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the
vine and under the fig tree.

Zechariah 4
[1] And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that
is wakened out of his sleep,
[2] And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a
candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps
thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:
[3] And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the
other upon the left side thereof.
[4] So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are
these, my lord?
[5] Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou
not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. [6] Then he answered and spake unto
me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might,
nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
[7] Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a
plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying,
Grace, grace unto it.
[8] Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, [9] The hands of
Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish
it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you.
[10] For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and
shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the
eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth. [11] Then
answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right
side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof? [12] And I answered
again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the
two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
[13] And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said,
No, my lord.
[14] Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the LORD of
the whole earth.

Zechariah 5
[1] Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying
roll.
[2] And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll;
the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
[3] Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of
the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side
according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side
according to it.
[4] I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the
house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name:
and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the
timber thereof and the stones thereof. [5] Then the angel that talked with me
went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that
goeth forth. [6] And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that
goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth.
[7] And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that
sitteth in the midst of the ephah. [8] And he said, This is wickedness. And he
cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the
mouth thereof. [9] Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there
came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like
the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the
heaven. [10] Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these
bear the ephah?
[11] And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it
shall be established, and set there upon her own base.

Zechariah 6
[1] And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came
four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains
of brass.
[2] In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black
horses;
[3] And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled
and bay horses.
[4] Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are
these, my lord?
[5] And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the
heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth. [6] The
black horses which are therein go forth into the north country; and the white
go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the south country.
[7] And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro
through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the
earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth. [8] Then cried he upon me,
and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have
quieted my spirit in the north country. [9] And the word of the LORD came unto
me, saying, [10] Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and
of Jedaiah, which are come from Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go
into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah; [11] Then take silver and gold,
and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the
high priest; [12] And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts,
saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of
his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD: [13] Even he shall build
the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule
upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of
peace shall be between them both. [14] And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to
Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the
temple of the LORD. [15] And they that are far off shall come and build in the
temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto
you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the
LORD your God.
